FIGHT
THOSE CALORIES!
With the year-end festivities just over and
Chinese New Year celebrations around the corner,
it’s easy to pack on the pounds. But fret not! These
smart tips will help you survive any festive feasting!
• Buddy up! Exercising with a friend
is always more fun! Commit to
motivating each other to stick to the
workout regime.
• Jazz it up! Going to the gym or
jogging around the neighbourhood
can get boring. Add variety to your
regime with fitness classes that
incorporate music, dance and
even trampolines!
6
SERIES OF COURSES
• Don’t starve! When you are very
hungry, you are more likely to overeat.
Having a healthy snack before
attending a festive gathering can help
ensure that you eat in moderation.
KNOW YOUR GOODIES
• Snack wisely! Those Chinese New
Year goodies are tempting but many
are high in calories (see table).
Help yourself to fresh fruits instead.
On average, mandarin oranges contain
just 50kcal and peeling them helps
slow down your snacking.
